Failed how, submitted and not accepted and declined or failed personally and not continued to write.. as before I have no experience with submissions (yet) but the latter I would suggest picking it back up when you feel the time is right, one day you'll open it back up and start chipping away at it.. attempting to force yourself to write has the opposite of the desired effect.
As before plan it all out before hand and writing is the easy part, I put together a list of "Character names, the plot, location of book, title and then a notes of each chapter after it had been written", that one's currently eight chapters in on only half way through the third paragraph of the planned plot, when writing it I found holes in the plot and added more chapters to add detail, only chapters with about three pages thus far as a rough sketch as it's the first one (story) i'm ever writing, that is if I decide to stick with it.
Sounds like you could do a short series, 1, 2 and possibly 3 books based on the above why not write a story from one point of view with multiple characters and then use your "failed attempts" to write part of the story before or after the book before it.
I did find this today.. Just another formatting website, may come in handy, helped for me as I prefer visual learning rather than attempting to read my prior links and understand what it's meant to look like, also had some extra helpful tips rather than the same old advice on a different site. |

Getting my wifes 16 year old brother to come and visit a prospective college with me next week after
he point blank refused when his parents tried. Told him stuff about me he never knew despite knowing
me since he was 2 and about how I fucked up all my chances when I was his age and instead got into drugs
and lots of trouble with the Police. I think hearing my tale opened his eyes a bit and he's going to give it a go
and see what's on offer there for him. I also managed to get him to agree to give the St Johns R.I.S.E. scheme
a whirl as it could get him an extra qualification and will get him socialising a bit, he's quite quiet and a bit
of a loner so meeting some new people will be good for him. He's quite a caring kid and I can see him having a
career in social care or similar. He's shown some interest in being a Paramedic so some kind of relationship
with St Johns will be a good foundation for that as well.
I feel like a proper big brother (in law) today.

Major road just near me is closed off, mucho traffic diversion.
Unfortunately right onto a dual carriageway where today they coned off a lane for half a mile up to a busy roundabout leading to a massive tailback.
Nobody actually working in the coned off area, of course.
Hey, it turns out that scattering a few cones around doesn't actually prevent a motorcycle from using that lane. Who knew? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Had the 16yo brother in law working with me all day
Met with the Father in law and one of my other brothers in law at a nice pub this evening to drop him off
and had a nice pint in the sun bought by Father in law.

2 things today so far.
1. Just had a sliced fresh strawberry inside a buttered Tescos finest all butter cherry scone with a cup of strong coffee.
Absolutely delicious.
2.Received a text from the Father in Law this morning which said.
"We think Jordan has really stepped up the last couple of weeks working with you. You must be getting something right there! Cheers Garry."
Jordan is my 16yo Brother in Law who I've been trying to motivate with the offer of a moped if his GCSES
are up to par. Had him working on a renovation job with me all week and he's been very helpful. I have swapped
work for work as he wants to pimp his bedroom at home and I will do the work required for him as payment
for him working for me this week. He needs more storage, wants a ceiling fan, remote dimmer switch so
he can operate the lights from his bed, and a few other odd jobs. Plus some fitted wardrobes with locks on
to keep his younger brother from nicking his clothes.
Oiling my gears later will be home made burgers, then a trip to the cinema to see TED 2 and maybe later, some other act of
gratitude from the wife for taking her younger brother under my wing. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I went through my pile of post and shredded everything that wasn't a bill or statement. Small scale destruction of post amused me as did unclogging the shredder when I got a little carried away.
